PNGRB aims expansion of LPG pipeline network for safer transport, cost rationalization

Live Mint  

New Delhi: The Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board is planning to expand India's pipeline network for safer and eco-friendly transportation of liquified petroleum gas, said Anil Kumar Jain, the chairperson of PNGRB. Currently, the bulk LPG transport from ports and refineries to bottling plants can be made safer and more efficient," he said, adding that out of the around 28 million tonnes of LPG consumed in the country, only about 9 million tonnes is transported through pipelines. Pipeline plan On 10 December, the regulator came up with a proposal for development of nine LPG pipelines in the country with a cumulative length of 3,470 km that would connect 50 bottling plants with ports and refineries. According to the regulator, the expansion of the pipeline network would also ensure uninterrupted supply of LPG across the country, reduce energy consumption and minimize emissions by vehicles.
